    I'm in awe of that insight where athletes are lifting at maximum effort and that is not representative of how they almost always lift which is with textbook technique at lighter weights.

    Top notch as always. I'd love to be able to pay for coaching and work in an Olympic lifting gym but for now the shed with your videos are helping me get at least a minimal foundational base.

    It is also important to note the effect of mental; and physical fatigue during competition and when doing maximal lifts, and the effect that has on positions. Some of the cues that they may use on sub-maximal weights for better positions eventually go out the window as the fatigue and stress creeps in and the focus becomes more singular: get the damn weight overhead and get a good lift.

    Yes. This is similar in sprinting.<br>People think there is good or bad technique. But leverages, strength and muscle patterns from an early age define technique.<br>In running/sprinting the difference is even higher.<br>I gets ugly when people critizise the technique of a guy who runs a sub 10s 100m... sick
